Newmarket. Palace House Grade II* listed building,
c17 home of King Charles II and all that remains of
Charles’ Palace. Now TIC.

Newmarket is unique for not only being the home of horseracing, but also for its Regal connections. King Charles II palace, which became known as his ‘house of sport and pleasure’ was specially built in 1671 so he could attend the racing in Newmarket. Through its doors have passed many Kings, Queens, crowned heads of state, political leaders as well as film and television stars.

The surviving pavilion now called Palace House, was rescued from dereliction by Forest Heath District Council, and now houses the Tourist Information Centre in the vaulted ground floor rooms, and is also a venue for conferences, weddings and arts events.

All year: Mon–Fri 9–5, Sat 10–1.
